Hey puckhead....sry for not answering...im in the middle of a trip...i got just shy of 1500 hrs, about 300 is prop, the rest is all jet...i also have about 1500 hrs in a Level D sim....(used to work at FlightSafety) on the Lear 60....I dunno man it says experience with age...i think at my age...my experience level is above what alot of guys have.
Any other info you guys have would be great. This is it for me...if i get this job im never flying for anyone else. I think its a great place to be. its been my experience that the foreign carriers actually treat us the way we should be treated. |
Competitive time from North America for SOs is over 3000 hours. Many recent SOs had close to 1000 PIC 121 time as well. Don't get too excited-It's an employer's market right now for these expat airlines...

Yoo hoo! Am I posting in my own world over here? :)
The avatar isn't just a pretty picture ;) Guys, not sure if you saw one of my previous posts but I set up an email addy to get some of that info out there. It is [email protected] , send me an email and I will give you the notes. Get ready to study some stuff you may not have seen. For example, hydroplaning is a subject that may come up. It isn't enough to just know what it is. They will ask what specific speed it will be most likely to happen. The formula for spinning wheels is 9 X square root of tire pressure. For a locked wheel it is 7.7 X square root of tire pressure. Get ready because the notes are full of these little gems. Don't be too worried though, once you are through the interview it is just like anywhere else really. They just want to see if you will jump through the hoops. Play the game and you are in. Good luck! |
Cudos ryguy. Good to see guy's helping out the lads. Cheers.

Now, for everyone that emailed me. I'll get to your emails as soon as I can. I got a lot of them so it will take me some time to burn through them all, I just ask for your patience and for you to forward them to your friends that want them. |
Hey Tweet. Everything is all good. P's on her way to LHR. I'm doing PVG tomorrow and will get my English test, of all thing's, out of the way. Start is August 1st. Looking forward to poling the thing again.
How's the fam? |
Spoke with a buddy of mine who recently did a SO interview and the primary difference between the DEFO/SO was the SIM profile. HR/Technical interviews were similar with the SO interview perhaps being slightly more Tech oriented (always depends on the interview team).
The internet gouge provides a good background onto the type of technical questions CX likes to ask. Handling the Big Jets also seems to be the CX Bible so if you can get your hands on a copy it couldn't hurt. |

Thanks KoruPilot, a lot of people helped me so I'm just passing it along. I've had that email addy for over a year and it has been posted on APC several times. There have been 163 satisfied note seekers so far and 13 added last night after this post :)
